Yeh, I only need powers of two. I realize this isn't very hard because I wrote a
prototype of it a while back. However, this prototype would basically need to be
rewritten b/c:
1. It only supports pure real inputs, meaning you can't use it to compute inverse
FFTs.
2. I tried to write it using strides instead of rearranging the elements of the
arrays, mostly because I was curious what effect this would have on performance.
It turned out to be disastrous, presumably because it killed cache efficiency.
